Louise Maule is the Project Lead for Maths4Girls, an organisation that arranges for women, in jobs where maths is needed, to speak to groups of secondary school students. The hope is that this will inspire more girls to take maths beyond GCSE and into degrees and careers with a maths content. Enuma Afulukwe is head of maths at a school which has already taken up the opportunity.
